For example a report in February 2004 by former Channel 5 Chief Executive David Elstein for the Conservative party recommended abolishing the BBC Board of Governors, privatising BBC production and its commercial subsidiary, BBC Worldwide and abolishing the licence fee, and turning BBC television into a voluntary subscription service. The report also suggested a new Public Broadcasting Authority to distribute funds to all public service broadcasters.
